The Washington NPL, formerly known as the Washington State Premier League, first launched in Fall 2012 with US Club Soccer’s National Premier Leagues (NPL). The Washington NPL is managed by the Puget Sound Premier League (PSPL), the fastest-growing soccer league in the state of Washington.

The Washington NPL consists of 19 clubs in 11-U through 18/19-U boys and girls age groups:

In 2018, Washington NPL champions advance to the NPL Finals, competing against top teams from around the country in a league-based national championship.

In 2019 and beyond, a Northwest NPL competition is in the works, which would feature Washington NPL regular season winners and potential new NPLs in Idaho and Oregon. This Northwest NPL playoff serves as a precursor to the NPL Finals.
